All STEM Classes My Senior Year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

I have the opportunity to take all STEM classes my senior year. I’m a sophomore currently and figuring out my junior year schedule. By the end of my junior year, I could have 4 English credits, 4 social studies credits, 4 foreign language credits, and will have fulfilled any graduation requirements.

My question is, from the perspective of college admissions, is it a good idea for all of my classes to be STEM-oriented (mostly dual enrollment through a local college, due to the lack of AP and higher level courses at my school) my senior year, or should I take some humanities that year as well, for the sake of well-roundedness and what not? I do enjoy things like economics and history, but it’s useless in terms of my desired career path.

Keep in mind I’m not exactly going for Ivies. More like OSU, RIT, Purdue

I guess if you’ve fulfulled graduation requirements, I don’t see why you shouldn’t take courses that pertain to your interests/ future career. Then again, this is coming from a senior who chose to take all STEM and/or dual credit classes senior year because I didn’t want to deal with everything else anymore. So in short, you wouldn’t be the only one. It probably depends on the college if they care about being a well rounded student. I personally was accepted to every college I applied to without any comments on my senior schedule. I hope you’re able to take the classes you want as well.
